Today we are making the third course in 3 Course Valentine's Dinner for Two!I can't believe we already on the third course. This week just flew by quickly! Tomorrow will be the last day in the series and I'll be sharing all the tips and tricks you need to know in order to make all three courses and serve them. For now, let's head into the kitchen and start making...

Step-by-Step Pictures

Gather ingredients and cookware.

Preheat oven to 350.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. If not fully melted, keep melting in 30 second increments until fully melted.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until baked completely. Here the cupcakes have baked for 15 minutes. I stuck a toothpick in the middle of the cupcake and the toothpick came out with batter meaning the cupcakes need to bake longer.

Here the cupcakes baked for another 5 minutes and the toothpick came out clean meaning all done!

After a few minutes, remove the cupcakes from the tin and place on a cooling rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely or about 4 hours.

Mix everything together for about 1-2 minutes either in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. See how there is still powdered sugar on the sides?

Make sure to scrape down the sides to ensure everything mixes together.

Mix everything together one last time.

Frost as desired and enjoy!

*Quick tip* If you want a harder icing, than refrigerate your icing for a couple hours to harden.

I love this recipe because it makes the perfect amount of cupcakes for two people. Now, you can enjoy a sweet treat in moderation. Tomorrow I will be finishing up the series by sharing tips and tricks on how to pull off the entire 3 courses.

6. Line a muffin tin with 2 liners and fill each liner with cupcake batter.

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until baked completely. I check this by sticking a toothpick in the center of the cupcake and pull it out. If it comes out clean, they they are done. If it does not come out clean, then they need to bake longer.
